【 Description｜作品介紹 】
Planting Light is Taipei Botanical Garden's idiom of urban light governance: dim, not add. Founded in 1896 at the city's heart, the garden merges leisure and research, sheltering more than 2 000 species. The project seeks equilibrium between walkers and wildlife, shaping a nightscape that collaborates with—never overpowers—natural rhythm.
From Heping W. to Bo'ai gates, a 435-meter path now glows with warm 2700 K, low-scale bollards replacing the garden's former high-brightness floodlights. Gate thresholds breathe gently; deeper, at the Lotus-Viewing Plaza, the glow thins toward darkness. Darkness is edited, not erased; visitors slip into “dark adaptation,” learning clarity needs no glare. Lamps sketch the route yet return cadence and territory to plants and insects, folding the light-scape into civic infrastructure.
This muted halo mirrors Taipei's pledge to biodiversity, net-zero goals and public wellness. Stars still crown the canopy, insects still sing—proof that leadership can dim, not dazzle. The city signs a new pact with night: ecology first, brightness second. In the quiet seam of glow and shadow, humans and more-than-humans share a gentler, lasting dark.

「植光計畫」是台北植物園落實城市光治理的新語彙：以光為政策，減光而非增亮。台北植物園創立於1896年，位處都市核心，有別於一般公園僅供休憩，植物園還肩負教育與研究使命，孕育逾2,000種植物與濕地生態。本案在人與自然間求得平衡，以節制光環境讓照明不再干擾，而成為與自然節奏協作的微光介入者。照明優化自「和平西路門」至「博愛門」，沿435公尺步道以2700 K暖光低尺度照明取代原有高燈桿與泛光燈，入口微亮，至園心──賞荷廣場──光度漸暗。透過光的梳理，黑暗被「編輯」而非驅逐；訪客感知「暗適應」，照明不因亮而明。光只指引路徑，也為動植物保留節律與棲地，使光環境成公共基礎建設的一環。
此處的光映照台北對生物多樣性、淨零願景與公眾福祉的承諾。抬頭仍見星，耳畔仍聞蟲聲──台北示範：好的光環境可以是減光，而非耀光。於是城市與夜色締結新契約：生態優先，亮度其次。在微光與暗影交會之處，人與萬物共享更永續、更溫柔的夜。
